description This paper analyzes the presence (and absence) of female representations in the codex Lienzo de Tlaxcala in its visual narrative of the Conquest of Mexico-Tenochtitlán. With this purpose in mind, some vignettes from the document have been selected, in order to analyse the way in which women were portrayed and how this silence concerning the feminine points to the focus given by historiography, and not to a documental void, nor to an absence in the historical process. Thus, this article will seek to contribute to the writing of a more plural narrative that takes into account theethnic, political, social and gender diversity present during this process.

Este artigo analisa a presença (e ausência) das representações femininas no códice Lienzo de Tlaxcala em sua narrativa visual da Conquista de México-Tenochtitlán. Para isso, selecionou-se algumas lâminas do documento, a fim de analisar a maneira como as mulheres foram retratadas e como esse silêncio a respeito do feminino aponta para o enfoque dado pela historiografia, e não para um vazio documental, tampouco para uma ausência no processo histórico. Assim, este artigo buscará contribuir na escrita de uma narrativa mais plural e que leve em conta a diversidade étnica, política, social e de gênero presente durante esse processo Universidade Estadual de Campinas 2023-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Text Texto application/pdf https://econtents.sbu.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/rhac/article/view/17656 10.20396/rhac.v4i1.17656 Revista de História da Arte e da Cultura; Vol. 4 No. 1 (2023); 55-72 Revista de História da Arte e da Cultura; Vol. 4 Núm. 1 (2023); 55-72 Revista de História da Arte e da Cultura; Vol. 4 No 1 (2023); 55-72 Revista de História da Arte e da Cultura; v. 4 n. 1 (2023); 55-72 2675-9829 por https://econtents.sbu.unicamp.br/inpec/index.php/rhac/article/view/17656/12874 México,Tenochtitlán; CenturyXVI México,Tenochtitlán; Século XVI Copyright (c) 2023 Gabriela Theodoro https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0
